Polycal Nutritional Supplement 400g

Polycal Powder is a Food for Special Medical Purposes for use under medical supervision. Polycal Powder is a non-sweet, unflavoured carbohydrate supplement. Polycal Powder is designed for the dietary management of disease related malnutrition, as an energy supplement for patients who are unable to meet their energy requirements from normal food and drink.

Polycal Powder dissolves readily in hot and cold drinks. It has a neutral taste and can therefore be added to both sweet and savoury foods or drinks without significantly altering flavour or texture. It is also suitable for use in cooking.
